What do you like best about the product?

Finout makes it really easy to get started with cloud cost management. The interface is clean, simple, and doesn’t require a ton of setup or training—our team was up and running quickly. It’s super intuitive, which means not just the FinOps team but also engineers and finance folks can jump in and start using it without much hand-holding. The tool connects easily to cloud providers and other services, and it’s fast to show real value.

It’s also gaining real traction in the market. More and more teams are picking up Finout because it helps break down complex cloud spend into something much more understandable. Features like business mapping and unit economics are super helpful if you want to tie cloud costs to actual outcomes. Plus, the company moves quickly, rolling out new features and updates based on what customers are asking for.

What do you dislike about the product?

Finout’s still growing. If you have really specific needs—like complex custom reports or deep API integrations—you might run into some limitations. Some features you'd expect in more mature enterprise tools (like advanced user permissions or deeper automation) are still catching up. And since they ship updates often, things can change fast, which sometimes means the UI looks a little different than you remembered. Nothing major, but something to be aware of.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It gives us clear, centralized visibility into cloud and SaaS spend across multiple providers. This was something that was previously fragmented and time-consuming to piece together. Before Finout, pulling cost insights meant jumping between different dashboards, normalizing data, and often relying on engineering support or legacy systems. Now, we can quickly see where costs are going, and spot anomalies without a lot of manual work. It’s also helped with faster decision-making. Because it’s easy to use and doesn’t require deep technical skills, stakeholders across finance, engineering, and sourcing can all engage with the data directly. That’s reduced back-and-forth and made it easier to align on budget conversations, savings opportunities, and contract strategy.
